Animals and the Environment – 46237/46238 – THEO 2814 – 01/02
Professor: Chris Steck
This half-semester module will examine the connections between climate change and animal life through a Christian lens. Among the topics that will be considered: how Christians understand the role of animals and human responsibilities to them; recent scientific insights into the lives of animals; the impact of climate change on animal life; the role that farm animals and food production play in environmental degradation; and ethical reflection on the proceeding issues. Note: students do not need to take the first module (THEO 024 “Theology and the Environment”) before taking this one.
